Sunday Gravel Ride | September 22 8:00
Sunday is looking to still be part of this mini-heat wave we’re having, so it should be warm enough to ride by 8. A slightly shorter route but Elora has an amazing coffee shop (or two), so my default will be to stop for a quick coffee. Bring money for a coffee stop. Tail lights…

We’ll take a break in Alma for some…
